Try this experiment at home. It's pretty safe if you're not a maniac or an idiot.
Find an old empty gallon can, a squarish one that paint thinner or turpentine comes in. Make sure its empty! Put an ounce or two of water in it. Put the can on the stove and heat it up until the water boils. Do this with the cap off!!! When the water boils, it will produce steam. When you see the steam coming out the top, screw the cap on. Don't burn yourself; use mitts. Let it cook for a few more seconds, not too long, tho. Then, using oven mitts, grab the can by the handle and quickly place it in the sink and run cold water over it. Watch what happens. Keep your hands away from it, tho. You don't want to get pinched.
What happened? Well, when you quenched the can in the sink, the steam that had been filling the volume inside the can condensed, creating a vacuum -- an empty space -- inside the can. That created a low pressure in there. In other words, the pressure inside the can was much less then the pressure outside the can, creating a large pressure differential, causing the can to implode.
A:well this is simple i may be young and not know alot but the fluids inside your body exert an equal amount of force all around you, thus actimg on the atmosphereic pressure and neutrilizing the effect (some of this may not be correct)
A:Consider this, the atmospheric pressure of Jupiter is 90 times that of earth, that would crush a car absolutely flat. the reason why you do not collapse under atmospheric pressure is because our bodies have aclimatized over million of years ever since life started evolving here on earth. Our bodies have an upper and lower threshold of pressure which our bodies can withstand.
A:Because your body exerts the same pressure outwards. That's why you need a pressurised suit to go into space - or to deep parts of the ocean. The pressurised suit stops your body exploding (in space) or collapsing (underwater)

Is river rock and crushed gravel similar?
River rock and crushed gravel are both types of gravel but have different shapes and sizes. River rock is typically smooth and rounded, while crushed gravel is crushed and has more angular edges. River rock is often used for decorative landscaping, while crushed gravel is commonly used for driveways and pathways.
What is a sphere of crushed ice flakes?
A sphere of crushed ice flakes is a ball-shaped mass of ice that has been crushed or shaved into tiny flakes or particles. This type of ice is often used in bars and restaurants for cocktails and drinks that require quick cooling without diluting the beverage too much.
How much does a cubic yard of crushed lava rock weigh?
A cubic yard of crushed lava rock typically weighs around 2,750 pounds (1.375 tons).
What areas are affected by greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases affect the Earth's atmosphere by trapping heat, leading to global warming and climate change. They impact various areas including weather patterns, sea levels, ecosystems, and human health. The increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, is primarily driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
What investigatory project can you do with eggshells?
You can investigate the effectiveness of using crushed eggshells as a natural pesticide in gardening. You can compare plant growth and pest control in plants with and without crushed eggshells applied to the soil.
Why is atmosphere a mixture and not a compound?
Because the elements in the air arent bonded chemically, they are just literally mix together.
Why do you do not get crushed due to outside air preassure?
Because of the atmosphere. Because it does not allow the air pressure to enter the earth.
Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders because our bodies are designed to withstand the pressure exerted by the air around us. The human body has evolved to maintain a balance between the internal and external pressures, allowing us to function normally despite the atmospheric pressure.
What atmosphere is so thick and heavy that it could crush a human?
The heaviest atmosphere in the solar system is that of the planet Jupiter. It would be difficult to design a vehicle which could descend into the depths of the Jovian atmosphere without being crushed.
What happen to the first preson on jupietr?
noone even made it to mars, and if somebody did make it, they'd be crushed by the pressure in the atmosphere
Why does a soda can look crushed when you remove the air?
If you remove the air from the inside of the can there is nothing to counter the pressure of the atmosphere. The walls of the can are not strong enough to withstand the 14.7 pounds per square inch that comes from the atmosphere so, it collapses.
Did robots land on jupiter?
No. Jupiter does not have a surface to land on. A probe was launched into the atmosphere. It took some measurements before it was eventually crushed by the immense pressure.
Can we live on Jupiter if the technology gets better?
Not unless we completely change the structure of Jupiter... Good luck. You weould get crushed flat just by being in the atmosphere.
Would a can be crushed due to gravity or atmospheric pressure on mercury?
On Mercury, a can would not be crushed due to gravity because the planet's gravity is too weak. However, the can could be crushed due to the high atmospheric pressure on Mercury, which is about 100 times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure.
Is Eiffel tower crushed?
No it has not crushed.
Can coumadin be crushed?
Coumadin can be crushed.
Can you live on venuse?
No. The surface of Venus is extremely hot (well over the boiling point of water) and the atmosphere is highly corrosive. In addition, you'd be crushed by the atmospheric pressure.
